Coddy Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Was offered a late trip on Alan's boat Kind of Magic and we decided to give a practice run for next weeks species comp. Headed ut into the bay and stopped on differant marks, some produced fish others seemed dead. Had a drift along the shore line towards the end of the day which produced a Tub Gurnard. In total we had 7 species between us LSD Goldsinny Wrasse Corkwing Wrasse Pout Pollack Tub Gurnard Shanny or Common Blenny (we think) a photo will be posted to confirm as soon as Alan has managed to get it transfered from his phone. Is this a Shanny, it had no eyebrows so I know it is not a Tompot. My Pollock Weather was not too bad a bit cool and the odd shower towards the end of the day. Had to wait to get under the old bridge on the way out as it showed 1.95mtrs but the Twin Sails had clearance of 2.40mts, I thought they were supposed to be the same air clearance! Late home due to lack of water on the mooring but it was good to get out and have a line tugged. Many thanks for the trip Alan Let's hope the weather holds good for next week-end.

Stuie Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 Nice report Dave - well done on the species count both of you. Good practice session as you say. Quote
Neal Posted April 8, 2012 Report Posted April 8, 2012 Also went out for a look to see if anything was about - not a very sucessful trip down to the Ledge Saturday and with the weather supposed to be worse Sunday, wasn't going to go Today. Late decision to go and get back in if the wind picked up as forecast - only went to Poole Patch. A few out there, who all disappeared as I arrived - sat it out to a steady stream of fish until early afternoon when it went dead - so home early. 10 different species for the 2 days - good practice for next week!

Mike Fox Posted April 9, 2012 Report Posted April 9, 2012 Looks just like a Common Blenny / Shanny to me too Dave Mike Quote
